Standing at 535 meters as the highest peak on sacred Miyajima Island, Mount Misen is steeped in spiritual history linked to the Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi. Travelers can ascend through lush primeval forest via scenic hiking trails or take a gentle ride on the Miyajima Ropeway. At the summit, massive weathered boulders frame awe-inspiring 360-degree vistas across the sparkling Seto Inland Sea and surrounding islands. Along the way, explore mystical historic sites like the Reikado Hall, home to an eternal flame that has burned for over a millennium.
